LiveJournal Video Confusion

[jeffurrynpl]

Does anyone else experience this: whenever any of my friends includes a video clip, it always shows the clip from the last person who included one. It makes for some interesting juxtapositions, such as commentary about the Gates situation in Cambridge, MA including a clip for the local crazies in Santa Cruz, CA

When one of my friends includes a video clip, it always appears as a big white space on my friends page, but when I view the full entry, the video appears properly.

I see that constantly. AFAICT the browser decides what flash clips appear in what order on the page, so if it learns that the first video is a clip from WKRP and the second is somebody juggling, when I reload the page I will always get that WKRP scene as the first clip. Adding a meaningless argument to the page (like friends/?a=1) will make FF think it's a different page and you'll get the right videos.

Yep. Currently, for me, the Gates clip is showing Ragnar reading to Janders.
